187: Lin Zifeng becomes stronger

“Master, I plan to go out for training. I probably won't be able to help much with the Immortal Sect,” Lin Zifeng said to Spiritual Crane Taoist.

Although he had been staying here, he was able to continuously acquire source points. The stronger Xian He Men became, the more changes and source points it brought.

However, even if he wasn't here, he believed his Master could develop Xian He Men very well. His presence or absence actually didn't make much of a difference.

But if he went out, it would be like having an additional “harvest.”

When the time came to give back to the Immortal Sect and then “harvest” again, the “benefits” would be maximized.

“It's time for you to go out and train!” Spiritual Crane Taoist nodded without any surprise. “My dear disciple, go! Don't worry, I will develop the Immortal Sect well! I will do my best to make the Immortal Sect your backing! At the very least, I won't hold you back!”

“Mm!” Lin Zifeng nodded. “I'll leave some spirit stones, materials, and basic pills for the Immortal Sect. I'll go out tomorrow! While I'm out training, I'll also look for some good prospects.”

“Good! You've worked hard!” Spiritual Crane Taoist nodded with satisfaction.

“You've worked the hardest, Master! I'm entrusting the Immortal Sect to you!” Lin Zifeng said with a smile.

Lin Zifeng still had over 20,000 source points. He converted them into a good amount of spirit stones, various materials, and some basic pills, which he then placed in the Immortal Sect's treasure pavilion.

He then went to cultivate, waiting for tomorrow morning. After having breakfast with his Master, he would go out for training.

Currently, although Xian He Men's development momentum was very good, it hadn't yet formed a complete structure, and its various components were not yet perfected.

For example, Spiritual Crane Taoist was the Sect Master, and Lin Zifeng was the Immortal Sect's chief disciple and the Sect Master's direct disciple.

Below them, there were no elders, no direct disciples (elders), no inner sect deacons, inner sect disciples, outer sect deacons, cultivation-imparting elders of the scripture pavilion, treasure pavilion management elders, and so on.

There were only six outer sect disciples, whose talents were mediocre, and 156 handyman disciples.

However, Xian He Men's foundation was ranked second among micro-sects; no micro-sect dared to claim first.

The White Crane Skill cultivated by the outer sect was not inferior to that of some small or even medium-sized sects, and the Spirit Crane Skill and Spirit Crane Heart Sutra Skill for the inner sect and direct disciples were even better.

There were also nine Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art. Some small sects didn't even have that many, let alone micro-sects.

Lin Zifeng guessed that the Golden Saber Sect probably wouldn't have more than 3 Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art; having one would be quite good.

After all, this place was so remote. Even though the Golden Saber Sect had quite a few disciples, it was still a micro-sect, and the number of disciples definitely didn't exceed a hundred.

Its overall foundation and strength were probably at the lower-middle level among micro-sects.

It was only a matter of time before Xian He Men became the overlord of this region, or rather, as long as Lin Zifeng was willing, Xian He Men could become the overlord of this region.

But there were really too few disciples. Lin Zifeng and Spiritual Crane Taoist couldn't do everything themselves, could they?

This included “collecting protection fees” from various towns below, undertaking missions, recruiting disciples, and so on.

These things still needed to be done by the people below.

Lin Zifeng went to a nearby mountain, which Xian He Men had designated as: Cultivation Peak.

The entire mountain was not very high, and its summit was extremely wide and flat, very suitable for cultivation. Moreover, it was very close to Immortal Crane Mountain, right next to it.

At this moment, six outer sect disciples of Xian He Men were sitting in meditation and cultivating there.

They didn't react to Lin Zifeng's arrival, focusing on their cultivation.

Lin Zifeng thought about it and decided not to disturb them. He had originally wanted to test the Mystic Marks and Mysterious Art, but the commotion would likely be significant, so Lin Zifeng went to a mountain further back.

Anyway, there was no current plan. The entire Immortal Spirit Mountain Range was so vast; he could just find a distant place and test them there.

Lin Zifeng found an uninhabited place and began to activate the Mystic Marks on his body.

The activation of the Giant Bear Roar Profound Tattoo suddenly increased Lin Zifeng's strength several times over.

The activation of the Mist Subtle Peace Profound Tattoo made Lin Zifeng feel as if he had become lighter and more agile. After dodging and moving a few times, he found that his speed had increased several times. As for the other abilities of reducing presence and being perceived, he couldn't test them alone, but he assumed they should be quite good as well.

Upon activating the Spirit Sensing Qi Induction Profound Tattoo, Lin Zifeng immediately felt the world become clearer, and his senses became extremely keen.

This was a Mystic Mark specifically designed to enhance perception.

The activation of the Thick Mountain Firm Stone Profound Tattoo made Lin Zifeng feel his physical body become more compact, his physical strength increase, and his resistance to blows and defense improve.

Upon activating the Strong Strike Profound Tattoo, Lin Zifeng felt it for a moment, but there seemed to be no change.

He was a bit puzzled, but according to the system's description, it increased the power of an outgoing attack...

Lin Zifeng threw a punch forward.

Immediately after, he felt his Strong Strike Profound Tattoo light up instantly.

Following that, he could feel the strength of his punch suddenly multiply several times.

Boom!!!

Although Lin Zifeng punched into the air, it was only with the strength of his physical body.

But after being amplified by the Strong Strike Profound Tattoo, the explosive force of this punch formed a wave of air, causing the air to oscillate.

A wave of air swept forward for dozens of meters before dissipating, and for a moment, dust mixed with various plant debris flew everywhere.

“Hiss! This is interesting...” Lin Zifeng looked down at his fist, wondering if this Strong Strike Profound Tattoo could amplify the power of spiritual energy.

Thinking of it, he did it. Lin Zifeng tested an attack with added spiritual energy.

Emmm... Lin Zifeng was a bit disappointed; this Mystic Mark could only amplify physical strength.

Lin Zifeng then tested several other Mysterious Art, all of which were very good and extremely powerful, but their consumption was not low.

So he looked at his current attribute panel:

After Lin Zifeng finished testing, suddenly, some changes appeared in the Cross-World Group.

“Eh? Something's happening!” Lin Zifeng felt the abnormality in the Cross-World Group and quickly connected his consciousness to it.
